TO ENSURE the safety of its community, the Ateneo de Manila University has indefinitely postponed the conduct of limited face-to-face classes.

The university last December announced that it will start holding physical classes in select degree programs in January 2022.

“This covers the planned limited in-person classes for the higher education units (Loyola Schools and Professional Schools), as well as the return to on-site work,” ADMU President Fr. Roberto Yap said.

“Until further notice, classes will continue to be fully online and staff will be on remote work mode, except for those who regularly report onsite,” he added.

However, limited in-person classes in the School of Medicine and Public Health and the administration of the 2020/2021 Bar Examinations at the Ateneo Law School Rockwell Campus will proceed “with strict adherence to health and safety protocols.”

Yap said that the opening of classes for the second semester of Academic Year 2021-2022 will be moved to 31 January 2022.

“In the meantime, our preparations for on-campus classes and work will continue, to ensure that the protocols and facilities will be ready when it is already possible for us to return to campus,” he added.
